PSA: Thank You, Supports

The Yetii Rider··100 votes·3,432 views

For all the pinks that sit bot lane untouched for twenty minutes.

For all the Frost Queen slows that catch someone recalling.

For all the Leonas that get Polymorphed. For the Volibears that get Monsooned. For all the Requiems you have Wished away.

Thank you, support players. I hope all the jerks you end up carrying lose their pentas to your auto attack.

Now, support is great and all, but the boards worship them a bit too much. It's not like they sacrifice themselves for the greater good; it's probably just their favorite role to play. And it's not like all supports are nice either. Some like to blame the ADC for everything, while in some cases, it can be the support's fault. I agree that many adc's are toxic, but as soon as an adc tries to help or suggest something nicely, they instantly get marked as flaming the support. And if a fight is lost, the adc is often blamed.

I'm not trying to take away from the nice support players, which there are a lot of, but don't act like all supports are holy.

It's my job as a boards member to worship the support players. It's not like their teammates are gonna do it.

Unless you play Thresh. For some reason I make the most mundane plays with Thresh and everyone starts applying Sky's DST, but nobody ever gives me credit for the shit I do with anyone else.

Really? how many times have you seen a support get themselves killed just so you can get away?

It's not like they sacrifice themselves for the greater good

A good support ALWAYS sacrifices himself for the greater good, as long as it will help in some way. There is no way I am flashing into dragonpit as Soraka to try to save you from the entire enemy team, that's just dumb. Tahm on the other hand...

Toplane Fencer2 votes

I didn't mean that. Yes, in game they will sacrifice them for the greater good. That's not what I was talking about. I'm saying they're not picking support for the greater good, they're picking support because they think it's the most fun role. They're not sacrificing themselves to play support so that others can play more fun roles; they are picking support because they like that role.

I started out prefering mid or top, got put in support most of the time previously before the team builder queue..... so I normally took whatever was left as long as it was not adc. Still suck as adc but Support is now my main role and I pick it because i enjoy it more. Its kinda halarious being ultied by warwicks etc 24/7 because they know if the support dies, everyone else will fall.

And thank you to all the Support mains out there besides myself, and thank you to those that are willing to fill in our shoes when we can not be around.

Also, your welcome for CCing the hell out of the enemy team so you can pentakill B-)

We may play Support because we enjoy that, it's still frustrating to see all the recognition going to other people when you did as much if not more work than them. The role may be fun in itself, but it's not rewarding, and it's good to see that some people appreciate it.

Toplane Fencer1 votes

Yeah, ok, that's right. In game, recognition and appreciation doesn't often go to the support and it should go there more often.

However, on the flipside, on the boards supps get by far the most recognition of all roles. Guess it balances out, but I'd prefer it if they got more recognition in game and a little less on the boards. It seems a little exaggerated on the boards like people are just fishing for upvotes as they know people will upvote threads praising supports. Not saying that's the case in this thread, but it certainly is in some.

Zyra Thank you Soraka

Thank you, for all the times you lined up an impossible skill shot and snared both the enemy support AND jungler with the same E cast.

Crazy Chatter5 votes

Ironically, adc is the most toxic role in the game full of entitled snobs who think they're so good, but in the end, somehow screw up and usually feed even when the support is very good.

Come on now, this thread is about being grateful to supports. No need to badmouth other players. Just be happy for them!

I like/hate supporting, sometimes i love supporting, it's my secondary role i tend to do whenever i don't feel like getting kills. My two mains for supporting are Taric and Bard (pls no hate). I've met good and bad adcs sometimes i can carry other times i'm not so lucky.. To me support is a really fun role where i can be almost as agro as a want as long as i can keep my ADC alive.

Does item 3092 really stop a recall? I didn't know that.

That's almost enough to make me rethink my love of item 2301 item 2302 item 2303 -- except that I don't love them just for themselves, but for how much sooner they let me build things like item 3504 item 3174 item 3190 item 3060 item 3050, which are why everyone on the team is saying "gj Vayne" instead of "this Vayne so noob, got blown up right at the start of the fight".

It doesn't stop a recall, but it gives you vision to possibly aim a skillshot to stop it yourself.
